The kids bathroom....I have no idea why these pics are sideways:)
The hall bathroom.Last night Dave was saying how the last two weeks had been a blur to him. That's been about how long its been since I've blogged. Dave had two weeks out of school/one week off from the church. So what did we do? We did lots of little projects around the house. Dave tiled both upstairs bathrooms with a little direction from Ricky and Jason(thank you guys). He did a great job. Little did we know the tiling would not be our biggest problem. Putting the potties back on was extremely hard and quite yucky. We put the potties on and took them off...repeat...repeat...and never could get the wax rings to seal the potties in place. I definitely know more about the bottom of a toilet than I ever wanted to know!! We finally called a plumber...and it was worth every penny. Also putting the doors back on was harder than expected. We had to cut the doors off because the tile made the floor higher (I use the term "we" loosely, I did not really help with that). Dave, being the perfectionist that he is not only cut the doors off, but sanded, primed, and repainted them. We (again, using the term loosely) got finished with that project on Saturday afternoon.
Life at our house is as busy as ever. Abby has an ear ache at the moment. I took her to the doctor this morning. The other two have had bad coughs for a while. Sometimes it's hard to decide whether or not to take them to the doctor when they aren't running fevers. Our doctor tells me use your judgement, when you feel uncomfortable treating them, then bring them in. I just tend to second guess myself alot of times.
My Kid's Market trip was a big success. I got lots of great things for the kids. They were very pleased with their new clothes and Dave was pleased with me for staying within my budget. Kim and I had a great time as usual.

Looks great Lisa! I know that you are glad that it is over! My sis shopped for me when she was at the market for herself. She was showing me her finds and realized that her favorite thing was stolen out of her cart! lol People are so silly and desperate sometimes.
Sorry! I posted and realized that my "wonderful typing skills" had misspelled about half of it, so I tried again.
Your house sounds a good but like my house recently! We have been elbow deep in various projects...I'm sort of glad we're done!

The tile looks great!
I am the same way about the kids! I always second guess myself about going to the doctor! Is it really bad enough? What if it's nothing? What if it's really worse than I think?? I drive myself nuts sometimes! Boy of the boys have had runny noses and a little cough for about a week!
Hope Abby feels better soon!
That should say BOTH of the boys.. not boy of the boys! haha!
bathrooms look great!
I feel your remodeling pains...we went through all that when we tiled the bathrooms at our previous home...it is never an easy undertaking when it comes to remodeling.
Hope everyone gets to feeling better!
i'm impressed!! tiling is a lot of work, and requires much more skill than it would seem :) the bathrooms look great, and i LOVE the picture at the top of your blog by the way- isn't that new?
Looks great! I'm way too familiar with bathroom remodeling - as we did both bathrooms in our old house after the upstairs toilet almost came through the ceiling into my laundry room!! That's a post unto itself!
Hope Abby feels better. Nathan's been coughing, sneezing, etc. I thought it was allergies but it kept getting worse so I took him to the doctor (which I now think I should have done last week!).
